Errors when trynig to install any applet using adesklets_installer

[m0dY]

Binary package hint: adesklets

Hello,

1. i compiled adesklets-0.6.1 from source on a Fedora 8 x86_64.
2. normal configuration/installation was just like './configure && make && make install'.
3. everything went smoothly except just installed some dependencies and then it was all fine.
4. when i try to execute /usr/local/bin/adesklets it just exits silently (i could paste an strace of it if this would help).
5. also when i try to run adesklets_installer it executes smoothly however when i try to install any module through it just fails with this error below...

6. also when i get any adesklet applet and try to install it, it just gives me this error (this is on the Calendar applet)...

7. i suspect that this is relate with being on a 64bit python so any suggestions or a fix would be nice.

Thanks.

I can replicate this issue on Ubuntu 8.04 64bit. I also think it is something to do with 64bit and Python. I have no issues on a 32bit system.

aDesklets was installed from source, using Python 2.4.

Output when launching Calendar desklet:

./Calendar.py
Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? t
Now testing...

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
